HOW NOT TO ELECT A DICTATOR

If you ever wondered how democracies can accidentally elect dictators, good news: history has left us a very clear instruction manual. It is not hidden. It is not complicated. Time and again, democracies keep electing strongmen who couldn’t care less about the rule of law, human rights, or even democracy itself....

WHO’S NEXT AFTER VENEZUELA?

Donald Trump’s military action against Venezuela on 3 January 2026 is not just another episode of American interventionism. The bombing of multiple locations and the abduction of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife constitute not only a violation of Venezuela’s sovereignty, but a direct assault on the international order that has governed global relations since the end of the Second World War....

WHY INSTITUTIONAL REFORMS MATTER

As we approach the 16th General Election (GE16) in less than two years’ time, it’s worth reflecting on a question many Malaysians are quietly asking: what happened to the institutional reforms we were promised? When the people voted for change in 2018 and again in 2022, it wasn’t just about swapping leaders or political parties. It was about wanting something deeper — a real transformation in how this country is governed....

RECLAIMING THE TRUTH IN THE AGE OF VIRAL NARRATIVES

In my earlier article, I wrote about how powerful stories often defeat facts. We live in an age where misinformation and polarizing narratives travel faster than ever. Social media platforms reward the emotional over the truthful, and artificial intelligence (AI) has added fuel to the fire by enabling the rapid creation of believable fake content. The danger is not just misinformation—it’s the erosion of our ability to trust anything at all....

WHEN STORIES DEFEAT TRUTH IN MALAYSIAN POLITICS

Malaysia does not lack information. We have news portals, social media, videos, podcasts, and endless WhatsApp messages. Yet public debates over issues feel more emotional, more confused, and more divided than before. The problem is not ignorance. It is the weakening role of truth in public life. It is a sad reality that modern societies do not run on facts alone....

Democracy is built on the principle that no ruler is above the people. Its imperfections come not from the system itself but from elites who manipulate it for personal gain. The solution, therefore, is not to abandon democracy but to resist those who tries to hijack it and to strengthen the institutions that protect it.

At the memorial service of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk in the United States, his widow Erika stood before tens of thousands grieving the murder of her husband, and startled many with the words: “I forgive the young man who killed my husband.” She also said the answer to hate is not hate—it is always love, to love our enemies....

62 years after our nation was formed, we must choose whether to stay trapped in the politics of fear and division, or to embrace unity. Let us pledge to see each other not as enemies to defeat, but as partners in a shared future. Selamat Hari Malaysia!...

In times of national frustration, it may feel easier to retreat than to resist. But I believe that now, more than ever, is the time to assert our sense of belonging—not surrender it. That is why I will fly the Jalur Gemilang this season of celebrating our nationhood during our Merdeka and Malaysia Day. Yes, it is disheartening to witness how some politicians exploit honest mistakes—like the incorrect display of the flag by those unfamiliar with its details—to stoke division....
